CONDUCTING POLYMERS By Colin Pratt INTRODUCTION Until about 30 years ago all carbon based polymers were rigidly regarded as insulators. The idea that plastics could be made to conduct electricity would have been considered to be absurd. Indeed‚ plastics have been extensively used by the electronics industry because of this very property. They were utilized as inactive packaging and insulating material. This very narrow perspective is rapidly changing as a new class of polymer known as intrinsically

POLYMER COCNCRETE 1. Introduction Despite being thought of as a modern material‚ concrete has been in use for hundreds of years. The word concrete comes from the Latin concretus‚ which means “mixed together” or compounded. Concrete is an extremely popular structural material due to its low cost and easy fabrication. Concrete is made up of sand or stone‚ known as aggregate‚ combined with cement paste to bind it. Aggregate can be of various sizes. It is broadly categorized as fine (commonly

The lower water layer contains the compound hexanedioyl dichloride‚ Cl C(CH2)4C O O Cl hexanedioyl dichloride The reaction produces nylon and HCl(aq). The polymer forms at the interface between the two solutions and is drawn out as a continuous strand. University Science Books‚ ©2011. All rights reserved. www.uscibooks.com

Chapter 9 The World of Plastics and Polymers Overview • Plastics are all around us – Polymers‚ materials whose molecules consist of long chain of atoms • Natural • Synthetic • Use of material and impact on economy‚ lifestyle‚ and leisure – Word plastic to some carry connotation “cheap” or “tacky” – Synthetic polymers revolutionised modern life • eg plastics become important in automobile industry‚ some new plastics stronger than steel and resist corrosion‚ less dense than structural

Polymers in Dentistry A polymer is a very long molecule that is made by linking together many smaller molecules called monomers. Some polymers contain only one type of monomer and others can be made from a combination of two or more different monomers. Polymers can be synthetic (produced by humans) or natural. Polymers that can be heated and molded into specific shapes and forms are commonly known as plastics. All plastics are synthetic polymers. Adhesives‚ chewing gum‚ and polystyrene are also

Polymer Chemistry Classification of Polymers – Notes prepared by The most common way of classifying polymers is to separate them into three groups - thermoplastics‚ thermosets‚ and elastomers5. The thermoplastics can be divided into two types - those that are crystalline and those that are amorphous. You may click on the words in the diagram below to learn more about these classifications. Thermoplastics Molecules in a thermoplastic are held together by relatively weak intermolecular

The main target market for the proposed product is the family with children. Children are interested in watching animals and they always have great influence on the decision making within the family. But they can seldom go out at night to see the animals. The proposed new onsite attraction core product is the Cave Trail where visitors are able to explore different kinds of nocturnal

1.1 DEFINING POLYMERS Polymers are materials of very high molecular weight that are found to have multifarious applications in our modern society. They usually consist of several structural units bound together by covalent bonds [1‚2]. For example‚ polyethylene is a long-chain polymer and is represented by ÀCH2 CH2 CH2 À or ½ÀCH2 CH2 Àn ð1:1:1Þ where the structural (or repeat) unit is ÀCH2ÀCH2À and n represents the chain length of the polymer. Polymers are obtained through
